Beth Rubley
Sports & Pregnancy Massage Therapist
Based at The Therapy Rooms Rugby
By Appointment Only
“The myth is that sports massage is just for athletes.
I do work with athletes and it's great helping them with preparation and recovery but a lot of my work focuses on the well-being of the general public and their day-to-day issues, aches and pains that can be alleviated by deep tissue massage”
